Blocky headed chick - would this suggest roo?

[2ndTink]

I have an EE chick named Peaches that is a week old and has a really square shaped head. I was picking out chicks with cheeks and this chick had by far the poofiest head and cheeks. I have a second chick this same color and it has cheeks but a normal rounded shape head, as do the other 4 EE's I bought.

Any chance this block head means it is a rooster? Or will it grow some interesting head feathers, or is this just chick fluff that will do who knows what as it grows?

I know some people have mentioned sometimes chicks just look roo-ish even from a young age, this chick definitely doesn't look feminine, but maybe she'll grow out of her square stage

Head shape does not suggest gender at all.

It is floofy. It could be male or female, because head shape does not show male or female. Too young to sex but post pics in 6 or more weeks for identification.

1) Head shape does not imply gender and 2) it's too young to sex anyway. Repost in 5-6 weeks.

What an Adorable looking Chick!

Ha! Thanks everyone, I was just curious, I know it is way too young to sex, but that fluff, holy cow! I wasn't sure if it might be indicative of an super poof EE roo.



I'm going to be sad when it loses all its peach fuzz.

It's just a super adorable chick!

I agree with everyone else that head shape isn't a good determining factor in sex. Personality however can be a good detector. My little roosters, no matter what breed are always the most curious, boisterous and tend to spar with each other a lot! I have had luck feather sexing but that's not 100% either. Enjoy watching it grow bc it's a beautiful chick for sure!!
